Conflict In Flyy Girl
In the book Flyy Girl by Omar Tyree, Tracy is the protagonist. We are different in many ways. We both share different views of the world, are viewed by the world in distinctive ways and I would respond in a different way to the central conflict of the novel. As she grows she sees what is acceptable in life and what's not. Tracy had her fair share in boys throughout her life. She was brought up in a respectable home. Tracy came along from her not liking boys to getting every boys she wants and giving them what they want. Tracy views the world as you either get over on people or people is going to get over on you. Thinking boys are pushovers or they are trying to push you over, by what they are telling you or what you tell them. Boys are controlling, they want you to do what they …show more content…
I try to go unnoticed, that doesn't do a lot, just trying to get by. I'm kind, caring and considerate of other people feelings. Willing to help others in need. Stands out in the crowd by my personality not by what I wear to school, who I know or by what I do socially.

The conflict and Tracy response was the wrong way because she seen how Mercedes was messing with drug dealers, running around with them and she thought that was okay to do the same thing. Therefore, Tracy believes that living in the fast lanes is what’s best for her. She isn't thinking about what could happens to her in the long run if she doesn't think carefully or wisely. Tracy does what benefits her not realizing how much problem she can get in.

If I was in her shoes I would think about all the consequences, all the effects to the causes of my actions. I would be more responsible of how I flaunt myself and the type of impression I can leave around. I would make better decisions and think about them before I do them. Learning from my elders can guide me in the right path on what I can and cannot do, what I should do and shouldn't do and how to do them the right

    pag.). The group of people had boarded a plane to attempt to evacuate, but while they were flying in their plane crashed and landed on a deserted island (Knowledge n.pag).

They elected the character Ralph as the leader of the group and the character Jack Merridew as the leader of the hunting party, which was made up of his choir group (Knowledge n. pag).

    However, as they experience society, they are rejected simply because they are different. This brings negative change, which leads to similarity between everyone. “She danced, did cartwheels and splits, played football, basketball and baseball with the neighborhood boys, wrestled with my brothers, biked, climbed trees, and rode horses,” Pipher displays that like the roots of saplings, females create a foundation of hobbies before actually expanding upon them to create their distinctive personalities (Pipher, 343). However, “she tried to keep up her old ways, but she was called a tomboy and chided for not acting more ladylike. She was excluded by her boy pals and by the girls, who were moving into makeup and romances,” like a storm, the influences of society can easily destroy your foundations and implement a predetermined set of beliefs for that individual or group (Pipher, 343).…

    Firstly, in life, males and females are often fascinated by each other, because of the differences in their nature. Males are drawn to females because of their differences and vice versa. In this sense, to each other, the genders are the unknowns. In James Joyce's "Araby", a little boy is deeply infatuated and virtually enchanted by his friends' sister. He watched her and thought a lot about her, as was stated, "every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door…when she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped" (p.288 Echoes). This shows that the boy was deeply infatuated and obsessed with a girl he did not converse with. The boy was shy and "had never spoken to her" (p.288) He was simply drawn to her because of the fact that she was an unknown to him. She was a girl whom he did not completely comprehend and this intrigued him. In comparison, Nino Ricci's, "Going to the Moon" was also about a boy, who was attracted to a female. The little boy was deeply taken by his teacher who stood out significantly from all the others in the school run by nuns. Miss Johnson was described as a, "burst of colour in a grey landscape, coming to school in…

    In William Golding’s novel, "Lord of the Flies," a pack of British boys are stranded on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere after a plane crash. The novel creates a dynamic story of power struggles. Struggles between good versus evil, wrong versus right, society versus savagery. In my paper, I would like to address what it might be like if the boys were replaced by a group of girls. Would they behave the same way boys did in the novel? Although many people do not feel girls could be as evil, I believe that the girls would act in the fashion as the boys. Perhaps it may have taken longer for the struggles to begin, but ultimately, all humans being life with the same emotional components at birth.…

    One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…

    My actions are always a direct showcase of my personal characteristics. A few that are particularly important are having patience, being non-judgmental, and thinking creatively. I learned a majority of my patience through my position as a research position. Research does not have immediate results; a good experiment takes time. My seemingly menial tasks, such as entering data, eventually contributed to the final product. I learned to be non-judgmental in my time shadowing an obstetrician, where I interacted with patients with so many stories. To judge them would cause a disservice, and potentially harm them. Finally, I learned to think creatively during my time at the Guild for Human Services. Each student was unique in his or her problems,…
